Flag of the European Union

“The circle of gold stars represents solidarity and harmony between the peoples of Europe...There are twelve stars because the number twelve is traditionally the symbol of perfection, completeness and unity. ”—"The European Flag" http://europa.eu/abc/symbols/emblem/index_en.htm

Robert Crumb. 2009. Flag of the European Union. Color computer print. 11 3/4 by 8 1/4 inches. Signed "R. Crumb Prague 2009" in lower right.

Crumb was commissioned to do a "flag" for the Prague Writers' Festival. Michael March, the President of the festival, gave me the copy above which Mr. Crumb kindly signed when I met him in Prague. The flag was hung in the interior of the Laterna Magika theater during the festival.

A Czech comics journal I picked up when I was in Prague. This issue has a feature on R. Crumb. It includes the Czech version of Crumb's "My Trouble with Women", a Gilbert Shelton piece, the front and back cover by Crumb and an ad for the upcoming Prague Writer Festival where both Crumb and Shelton will appear. Mr. Crumb kindly signed it for me.
